2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

I OWN A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND WHILE DRIVING IT THE CAR STOP SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. CAR WAS UNABLE TO START AGAIN. TOOK CAR TO A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE MEMORY THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. COST FOR THE MEMORY REPLACEMENT $1000, 2 MONTHS LATER, JEEP STOP AGAIN WITHOUT ANY WARNING. HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT BECAUSE MECHANIC CANNOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM THAT MAKING THE CAR NOT TURN ON. CHANGED BATTERIES, BRAKES, FUEL PUMP ETC. DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE. *TR

BOUGHT THIS AUTOMOBILE USED. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER WE NOTICED THE DRIVERS SEAT TRACK HAD SEPARATED IN TWO PLACES ON EACH SIDE OF THE SEAT. THE SEAT WAS LITERALLY BEING HELD TO THE TRACK WITH BAILING WIRE THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD RIGGED. WE REMOVED THE WIRE AND USED A CUSHION SPRING TO HOLD THE SEAT TO THE TRACK. NOTE: THE METAL BRACKETS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SEAT HAD SIMPLY FATIGUED AND SPLIT IN TWO. I CALLED OUR LOCAL JEEP/CHRYSLER DEALER AND HE GAVE ME THE NATIONAL NUMBER FOR JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE REP, NOTHING COULD BE DONE SINCE THERE HAD NOT BEEN A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS ITEM. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS A COMMON COMPLAINT FOR THIS YEAR OF GRAND CHEROKEE. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT THIS CONDITION IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CHRYSLER/JEEP SHOULD RECALL THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT TRACK FOR THESE YEARS (1999-2004) GRAND CHEROKEE. *TR

THE TRUCK SEEMS TO HAVE LOST POWER TO DRIVE AND ALSO TO PROVIDE PROPER TO THE RADIO WHICH GOES IN AND OUT. WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT THAT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK STARTED HESITATING TO KEEP GOING. AT 0 TO 40MPH IT WAS ACTING LIKE IT WANTED TO SHUT OFF BUT AS I GAVE IT MORE GAS IT SEEMED TO GET BETTER AND THE MUSIC CAME IN CLEARER BUT THEN IT WOULD JERK LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHUT DOWN. I HAVE HAD THE STARTER, ALTERNATOR, ENGINE AND SPARK PLUGS CHANGED AND CHECKED BUT IT STILL IS DOING THE SAME THING. THIS IS UNSAFE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND NO WARNING LIGHT TO SAY THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED I'VE SEEN TOO MANY TRUCKS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES LIKE MINES. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND THE JEEP STOPS IN TRAFFIC. IT TOOK HER S COUPLE OF MINUTES TO GET IT FRANKED. AS SOON AS SHE PULLS OFF IT SHUTS OFF AGAIN. REALLY IN FRIDAY TRAFFIC HERD IN ATLANTA. DANGEROUS!! *TR

GAS TANK SHIELD HAS RUSTED OUT AND PIECES ARE MISSING, THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR A SAFETY HAZARD THAT THE GAS TANK CAN BE EXPOSED AND PUNCTURED BEING FATAL. I BROUGHT THIS TO A JEEP DEALER AND THEY SAID TO CALL CHRYSLER CORP. THEY DID NOT TAKE PHOTOS. THE DOORS IN SIDE ARE RUSTED. ALL YEARS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE OF THE SHIELD BUT NOT MY YEAR. DO YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE DIES TO RECALL THESE UNSAFE VEHICLE'S?!! JEEPS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND I FEEL THAT MINE SHOULD BE FIXED ASAP BY THE COMPANY. *TR

I DON'T REMEMBER TOO MUCH BUT I JUST REMEMBER SWERVING TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE (HIT IT ANYWAY) AND ENDED UP HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE HEAD ON (GOING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION). HIS AIR BAGS DEPLOYED BUT MINE DIDN'T. *TR
